Several years ago, I wrote a chess-like game where the shape of the pieces showed their potential moves ( https://github.com/scottlilly/mogrichess ). This was needed because the a …

I remember a version named "dBrief", for those of us programming dBase/Clipper code. It was a great tool back then.

The same for me. My current car is a 2014 model, with 42k miles on it. I probably drive less than 2,000 miles a year. The car looks great, drives great, and has plenty of safety fe…

I've been using a Manta Sleep mask (no speakers) for the last year and half, and love it. Unlike the cheap eye mask, it doesn't have an elastic strap that eventually gets out of sh…

I'll second Siteground. My WordPress sites were gradually getting slower on DreamHost - with support saying there weren't any problems. I switched to Siteground a few months ago, a…

I've been streaming some of my side projects on Twitch, with OBS. During the stream, I keep up a fairly constant spoken description of what I'm doing, what I'm thinking, what probl…

For my WordPress site, I replace Google Analytics with Koko Analytics. It provides list visitor information. But, I really just care to see which pages are most popular.

I'm also not a lawyer or CPA, but I believe if a US person is a partial owner in a foreign corporation, the company is required to do their accounting by GAAP standards. So, if the…

I've had my personal domain since 1999. It was originally hand-coded HTML, but has been WordPress for at least the last eight years. Back in 2014 I wrote a beginner's guide to C#, …

Several years ago, I wrote a Greasemonkey script to do this. I haven't used it in years, and am not sure if there's an alternative for Brave browser (my new standard). It basically…

I've been working on something (probably) similar in C#. The idea is to tag files/documents with attributes like "auto", "insurance", "2022", encrypt the file locally (using your m…

Intuit forever lost my business when they tried to run my QuickBooks Payroll from a bank account I deactivated, after moving to a new bank (and updating my bank information in Quic…

https://github.com/ScottLilly/MogriChess It's a variation of chess where the capturing piece acquires the movement capabilities of the piece it captured. I originally wrote a versi…

It's frustrating, the number of recruiters who don't provide the job description and compensation - even when directly asked for them. I keep "Can you please send me the job descri…

On my Windows 11 desktop, with an RTX 2060 Super, I'm able to use MSI Afterburner to adjust values and improve performance for Ehtereum mining.

I've generally followed the article's outline for some programming tutorials I created. The lessons are based on building a simple role-playing game. They try to quickly get to som…

Not a programming language, but I just installed Linux on an old laptop and plan to learn how to do my development work in Linux. I've been a corporate C# programmer for years, wor…

My gut feeling is that there's still good value in frequent demos/checkpoints/etc. It does create a sense of urgency to complete tasks and lets the owner know that progress is real…

It has its positives and negatives - but I'd say mostly positive. It's a little difficult to hold conversations with chat while trying to remember what I'm doing with the program. …

The channel is https://www.twitch.tv/codingwithscott . I don't have a schedule yet, especially with the holidays, but I'm going to try to stream at least a few times a week.

I did some live-stream programming this morning. It's something I started trying out recently. There were a few people to chat with, and I made a little progress on a personal proj…

I assumed it was a thinly-veiled reference to Global Warming.

I'm also a fan of using Kanban for most corporate line-of-business development. In almost every Scrum team I've worked with, they get close to the end of the iteration and start do…
